Parry–Daniels map

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Parry–Daniels map is a function studied in the context of dynamical systems. Typical questions concern the existence of an invariant or ergodic measure for the map.[1]

It is named after the English mathematician Bill Parry[2] and the British statistician Henry Daniels,[3] who independently studied the map in papers published in 1962.
